Lets hope that someone takes that pretentious git out for good:idea:
I can't understand the hype, and his "Allah Waqba " after the GF was the final straw
He sounds as dumb as he looks, so maybe thats why Sports Journos seek him out

Bob Mcarthy was right, SBW was not sighted till the Manly forwards ran out of juice.

Correct. It was only when we had our bench forwards out there in the last 20 that he did anything meaningful in the GF. Personally I think those whinging about him not winning are Chooks fans and those who had money on him to win the Churchill Medal.

As to the WC, I hope Kearney doesn't pick him. He says he doesn't want to play, then backflips right on selection time.

And I can't understand how out of form players (or those who haven't played for a month) like James Tamou or Sam Thaiday get picked over in form players like Brenton Lawrence for the Kangaroos. I know those two have been there before, but shouldn't form count for more than past reputation?

No,he just realised ,there is still more to pilfer from Rugby league before he returns to Union,yes he is a good talent,but until everyone starts to realise he is playing them,cause he know,s they all want him to stay in the NRL and they will do almost anything to keep him here,hey who know,s they might exempt him from the salary cap altogether just to keep him here at the roosters,then he will keep playing them for all he can get

He'll be thinking I can do this :

Win a world cup with the kiwis and waltz straight back into union.

Unfortunately(or is that fortunately) RLIF rules state that a player has to commit to a Rugby League club. So the other sitting nations will block this move by the Kiwis.

The other interesting thing is this Campese has been forced by Canberra to sit out from the Italian Squad. Was given clearance prior to Stuart getting there, now not. The irony of it is if he's found right to take part in the World Cup the Raiders he'll be suspended (club : Country thing happens in other sport)
